Waterloo 200, the Government-backed organisation overseeing the celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, is giving away 500,000 commemorative Campaign Medals as a gift to the public. The medals, which are bronze replicas of those presented to all of the British soldiers that served at Quatre Bras, Ligny and Waterloo in 1815, have been funded by the The London Mint Office.

Finally, after a wait of nearly 200 years, the Allied powers who defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo were today presented with the original commemorative Waterloo Medal at a ceremony held at Apsley House, official home of the Duke of Wellington.
